Subject: Loading Props on a MAC Problem


Illo ( ) posted Thu, 17 January 2002 at 8:43 PM ยท edited Tue, 11 February 2025 at 3:26 PM

I 've downloaded a bunch of free PC/Mac props over the past year, and I rarely find instructions in the Read-Me text for loading the Conforming/Morphing props into the correct files on a MAC. Can anyone break this out for me?. Kozaburo's hair props have me completely confounded. Also, should the PC/Mac prop be run through something like MacConverter first? Thanks!

Yes, use Maconverter always unless the file was created on a Mac.

Go to Martin C's web site http://MartinC@soft-rabbit.com/ and download Both Mac Converter and Mac Installer. After you've run the files through Mac Converter, drop them -one at a time- on the Mac Installer Icon and it will load them into Poser for you (check off the box labled copy unrefferenced textures before you click on OK).

I'm still confused. If a prop from the Freestuff area is labeled as PC/Mac, why run it through MacConverter? Why not label it as a PC prop? Also, how would I know if a prop was created on a Mac? Thanks for your help so far.

I always run the files through MacConvertor. It wont hurt the file and will just convert those that need conversion. Use it and your problems should go away :-) RonGC

They label some files "PC only" because they don't know about MaConverter, although .exe files (apps) are always "PC only". They label other files "PC/Mac" because it's the default setting for freestuff. It's almost always the correct setting, thanks to MaConverter. Most of them are PC files. They label files "Mac only" if they're .sit files. So those can sometimes be used on a PC with Expander, unless they're Mac apps.
